Determining what will be the architecture of the ePub, seems to be as important a subject as, say the display of entities. It's a major choice that should appear clearly.

We're not "requiring" any special step. We're, in fact removing a limitation. The "Sigil Norm" was never canonical. It was not required by Epub spec or by any validator, or submission guidelines. It was never anything more than bandaid used by Sigil developers to make things easier for them. It was not a user-facing or user-beneficial "feature". It was always one of Sigil's goals to remove the enforcement of an arbitrary and unnecessary archive restructure upon opening each and every epub. And we accomplished that goal.
If you want to cling to that arbitrary and unnecessary structure for whatever reason, we've provided a means for you and others to do so. But we're not going to revert to providing a way to make enforcing an arbitrary, pointless, and unnecessary structure automatic.
We'll change the name of the feature to something "legacy" related, if use of the word "Norm" is giving people trouble.
